FROME Lions are inviting clubs and organisations in the Frome area to join in with the their 36th annual charity swim, and support a local good cause, at the same time as raising much needed funds for the Lions.
This year’s swim is being held on Sunday 19th March at The Frome Leisure Centre.
Lion Mike Geake said, “The swim is open to all clubs, business houses, schools, associations, youth organisations, family groups etc. There is no limit to the number of teams entered by any one organisation, but no swimmer may enter in more than one team.
“Swimming will take place in 25-minute sessions between 3pm and 6pm, with each member of the team obtaining their own sponsors. We will commence the afternoon with the pool configured for swimming widths rather than lengths for any team that wishes to swim widths.
“The sponsorship money will be shared 50/50 between a charity of your choice or your own club/school funds and Frome Lions Club Charitable Trust. For this year’s event the Lions will be supporting Active and In Touch, who do great work around the town and area, supporting people who have become isolated or lonely.”
Application forms are obtainable from the club website, www.fromelions.org.uk or contact Lion Greg Wood via email, greg.wood@ fromelions.org.uk or telephone, 07759 309253.
